More on this:  it looks like a senate committee has reccomended the Community Accounts model -- where community indicator data that is normally too costly to access is collected & assembled by gov. on behalf of community groups -- be adopted in every province.

That seems like progress...  I wonder what the implementation rate on senate reccomendations is?
